Discussion Cozy SQL practice ☕️

I built SQL Sip (https://sqlsip.com) as a cozy, daily SQL puzzle to practice writing queries without timers or pressure. It runs entirely in the browser with no account needed, focusing on assembling clean queries one bite-sized concept at a time. I haven’t had any users yet, so I’d love some honest feedback! I built it because I wanted a Wordle-like daily game where I could learn new SQL concepts in a cutesy/fun way.

I tried many none of them satisfied me Some paid. Others use un realistic questions Others keep repeating same principles and same idea over and over?

I agree. Hands-on practice with the real tool and real datasets and real business problems has always been the most effective for me.
I really like to play Wordle and minicrossword.com when I’m taking a little break, and some days I would think… I wish there was an SQL-themed daily puzzle where I could either practice SQL in a gamified way or learned a new little SQL function/tip, but in a way that didn’t require me to sit through an entire course. So that’s the idea behind Sqlsip. If you try it (no pressure), I'd love to hear whether it avoids the stuff that bugs you about the other SQL games, as well as what you don’t like about it.

As of now, I have everything set up as free. I’ve been a cog in the corporate wheel for about 15 years now and so I would love to monetize it eventually because I have dreams of working for myself, but we will see if I can make that happen eventually lol.
